Inline Skating

Wear a helmet and wrist, elbow, and knee guards. Check your wheels and brake, and start on a flat surface.

Bend your knees and start slowly with short pushes. Keep your weight slightly forward and push alternately to each side.

Ease off your pushes to gradually slow down on your final stretch. Stop safely, then check your distance and duration.

Pushing side to side works your cardiovascular system and legs. Use your core to keep your center steady and stay balanced.

Avoid downhill slopes until you know how to stop. Leaning back makes falls more likely, so keep your knees bent.

Breathe comfortably in rhythm with your pushes. Keep breathing even as you pick up speed.

Record your distance and workout duration. Use a GPS device or a measured activity record as a reference.
